50 Minute Brass Flip-over Hourglass Timer Brass or Silver

I wanted to love this, although it was not my first choice among the hour glasses. The sturdy looking, solid wood types are sold out. This one was a default choice. Sadly, it is disappointing, and, I think, not worth the price. The base is a little thin and flimsy and, the biggest issue, the screws on the sides do not stay tightened. They come loose, which cause the hour glass not to stay flipped over. When this happens, I am able to retighten them to hold the glass in place. I wonder for how long this will work? Screws that are constantly loosening and tightening tend to get stripped and stop holding.

Despite this inferior product, I am planning to give the wood ones a chance once they are back in stock. Hopeful, I will be able to rave about that one.

Love the hourglass, but the packaging? So substandard, it takes away from the overall product. Cheap styrofoam that goes everywhere in small particles just opening the two halves that contain the hourglass. This makes it impossible to use the packaging as a gift for someone. Why not do it right? Decent sytrofoam nesteld within a nice box that can be wrapped as a gift. I was really disappointed in the overall experience which tends to cheapen the overall company image in my opinion.

I love it. Bought this as a birthday gift for my partner who's a therapist. Awesome. The hourglass is a 50 minute hourglass, but when timed, its 53 minutes (which is fine). I would definitely be buying from this seller again.
